Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” while discussing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s call to ban Muslims from entering the United States, Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) said, “Everybody who is a Muslim isn’t some terrorist obviously.”

Kasich said, “Well, first of all we don’t need more division. Everybody who is a Muslim isn’t some terrorist obviously. Vast majority, you have infinitesimal number who disported the religion and entered the culture of death. Let me also say about your polls. You’re polling like 400 people out of 325 million. I see polls all the time. I become more convinced now that the reason that God invented pollsters was to make astrologers look accurate. I don’t believe that that’s where the Republican Party is. I’m on the ground. I just did my 42nd town hall meeting in New Hampshire. That’s where you go into a room, you sit there or you stand there and they come at you with questions. They try to size you up. This is not what I get when I’m there. It’s not what I get when I to go South Carolina or out to Iowa. This is not what I hear. I hear people saying, I’m worried about my job. I’m worried about our security. I’m worried about my kids’ future what are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about Social Security. What are you going to do about college debt. That’s what I hear. I don’t have people coming up yelling about this other stuff.”
